Meet @MouseCrackers — boj's new Timmins, Ontario correspondent

which makes me think that even though I didn't ask her if it was OK to tell you that, she kind of takes my position that anyone who's willing to travel there to say "Hi" is more than welcome.

In any event, the recruiting process was relatively painless (at least for me): It consisted of me seeing on Twitter sometime Friday that she'd #FF'd me, writing "For a commitment to sharing the quirky & the random but always interesting."

As I told her in my reply, "Flattery gets you everywhere, not least an invite to join my team of crack correspondents."

Our negotiations, such as they were, are pictured below as they happened in real time.
